crtdaydreams[asciilifeform|busybot]: back to this thread because "grr solder"
crtdaydreams[asciilifeform|busybot]: I have tried big hot air gun @ 400 degree C and 30W handheld solder and the header solder will not melt
asciilifeform: crtdaydreams: see here.
crtdaydreams[busybot|asciilifeform]: 99.99% sure must either be carbon steel or some insane brand of lead-free solder
asciilifeform: crtdaydreams: it's likely pb-free + the tracks are fat enuff to 'heatsink'. add pb, turn iron to '11', and have patience.

crtdaydreams[busybot|asciilifeform]: I have to do 24 of these connectors, not just two
